I noticed that the resolution had been changed from 1920x1080 to 1364x768 but when using remote desktop there is no way to change the resolution using the GUI. Is there a terminal command that can do it?

FYI: I managed to fix my eMMC again, I found a working spl_loader bin file to flash with rkdeveloptool. See the following post for details:

To add a datapoint: In the past, I've been succesfully installing to eMMC using `armbian-install` using an Armbian 24.2.1 Jammy image. IIRC I had to change the `ftdfile=` line in `/boot/armbianEnv.txt` (as documented at https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/) but it otherwise worked right away. Now recently I have been playing with newer bootloaders and images and kernels (in order to fix an issue where a reboot hangs), and in that process I updated the U-boot on the eMMC, which caused booting from eMMC to fail, and when booting from SD card, I no longer have the eMMC device so I cannot fix this (I think this might be exactly what @sns1081 describes in the first post of this topic). I've been trying to fix this (see this post for details), but on my previous attempt I could not get `rkdeveloptool` to work: it kept giving "Write LBA failed!" errors on on the `wl` command. I suspected this was because I needed the `db` (download bootloader) command first to download and run a bootloader to then handle the `wl` command, but I could not find the right spl_loader file. But with this thread (and in particular this post by @Andrius Vainorius) offered a filename I could google and then found it here: https://dl.radxa.com/rock5/sw/images/loader/rock-5b/release/ With that, at least the db and wl commands work: ❯ sudo ~/bin/rkdeveloptool db ~/Downloads/rk3588_spl_loader_v1.15.113.bin Downloading bootloader succeeded. ❯ sudo ~/bin/rkdeveloptool wl 0 some_img.img Write LBA from file (100%) For this, I cannected USB-C cable to the J11 USB connector in the middle, powered up via the USB-C connector in the corner and pressed the maskrom button on powerup. Note that it did not seem to be necessary to have the rkdeveloptool and the images to write in the same directory, as suggested by others here. Note that the the "some_img.img" is an image I lifted from an SD-card with Armbian 24.2.1 Jammy, so it is not the original clean image, but it does have the same stuff on it. Just the above commands recovered my board: It can boot from eMMC again and the /dev/mmcblk0 eMMC device is available again (both when booting from eMMC and when booting from SD). Analyzing why eMMC was broken before, I compared the serial output from the broken and fixed cases. The main difference is here seems to be the u-boot SPL version. AFAIU, this is what happens: Some ROM bootloader boots, which loads U-boot SPL from eMMC U-boot SPL checks SD-card and then eMMC to load the main U-boot Maybe there is another bootloader stage involved (between ROM and SPL, since there is some serial output before SPL shows up that is different between both cases). Here's a diff of the serial output between both cases (up to the moment where U-boot runs and no more interesting differences appear): --- old-opi5.txt 2025-07-02 21:20:08.631329154 +0200 +++ old-opi5-emmc-fixed.txt 2025-07-02 23:01:17.982196616 +0200 @@ -1,26 +1,24 @@ -üDDR d5483af87d cym 23/11/23-16:15:24,fwver: v1.15 +þDDR V1.11 f1474cf52f cym 23/05/09-11:02:36 LPDDR4X, 2112MHz channel[0] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB channel[1] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB channel[2] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB channel[3] BW=16 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=16 CS1 Row=16 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB Manufacturer ID:0x1 -CH0 RX Vref:29.3%, TX Vref:22.8%,21.8% -CH1 RX Vref:28.9%, TX Vref:20.8%,21.8% +CH0 RX Vref:28.5%, TX Vref:23.8%,22.8% +CH1 RX Vref:29.3%, TX Vref:20.8%,20.8% CH2 RX Vref:29.3%, TX Vref:22.8%,21.8% -CH3 RX Vref:27.9%, TX Vref:20.8%,20.8% +CH3 RX Vref:26.7%, TX Vref:21.8%,21.8% change to F1: 528MHz change to F2: 1068MHz change to F3: 1560MHz change to F0: 2112MHz out U-Boot SPL board init -U-Boot SPL 2017.09 (Feb 25 2025 - 08:48:59) -sfc cmd=9fH(6BH-x4) -unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: ff, ff, ff -unknown raw ID ff ff ff -Trying to boot from MMC2 -spl: partition error +U-Boot SPL 2017.09 (Feb 09 2024 - 18:56:36) +unknown raw ID 0 0 0 +unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00, 00, 00 +Trying to boot from MMC1 Trying fit image at 0x4000 sector ## Verified-boot: 0 ## Checking atf-1 0x00040000 ... sha256(7efcd01a0f...) + OK @@ -29,7 +27,7 @@ ## Checking atf-2 0xff100000 ... sha256(1163474a5b...) + OK ## Checking atf-3 0x000f0000 ... sha256(da90adf3a4...) + OK Jumping to U-Boot(0x00200000) via ARM Trusted Firmware(0x00040000) -Total: 304.579/460.237 ms +Total: 245.95 ms INFO: Preloader serial: 2 NOTICE: BL31: v2.3():v2.3-589-g3389cfdda:derrick.huang @@ -42,11 +40,10 @@ INFO: valid_cpu_msk=0xff bcore0_rst = 0x0, bcore1_rst = 0x0 INFO: system boots from cpu-hwid-0 INFO: idle_st=0x21fff, pd_st=0x11fff9, repair_st=0xfff70001 -ERROR: dfs get fsp_params[0] error, 0xfead0004 != 0xfead0003 -ERROR: dfs get fsp_params[1] error, 0x1111 != 0xfead0003 -ERROR: dfs get fsp_params[2] error, 0x0 != 0xfead0003 -ERROR: dfs get fsp_params[3] error, 0x60241520 != 0xfead0003 -ERROR: loader&trust unmatch!!!

Next things I could try are: Flash a recent Armbian image (different version/flavors) to eMMC using rkdeveloptool and see if any of those produce a working system/eMMC. Figure out how the boot process *really* works and what parts of the eMMC are loaded in what order and how Compare a working and broken armbian image (in the areas that contain bootloader-stuff) and swap out some of these parts to see what is the part that breaks it. However, my main issue is fixing reboots on the older armbian system we are using, so I might not get around to the above anytime soon (OTOH, it seems the newer U-boot SPL actually fixes the reboot issue, so that could motivate me to see if we can upgrade to the new u-boot version without losing eMMC).

@C127 any chance to make a release that already has the ethernet driver compiled and working ?

Thank you for the response. I've reviewed the PR you linked, and based on that, I have created my own: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8348 I appreciate the review. I have fixed the issue with the unnecessary wrapper in my `orangepi5pro.csc` file and have also addressed the other recommendations. Regarding the use of the latest U-Boot version, I did test it. However, it seems that with versions newer than 2024.04, U-Boot takes a very long time (~60 seconds) just to start the kernel. This is likely due to an issue from the refactoring that occurred after the 2024.04 release. Thanks again for your guidance.

I keep having trouble with panel-mipi-dbi-spi not finding /lib/firmware/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.bin even if it exists and it works in another Armbian and Raspberry. This happens only with the armbian OS that I compiled with default linux configuration. The armbian OS image that I downloaded from armbian.com can drive the LCD (but has other problems with X11). When I boot my image while watching the serial output, I only see "Starting kernel", then a few lines regarding udev, then the login prompt (sorry, I will be more exact when I get back home). I changed console=both to console=serial, in armbianEnv.txt but I still don't see more kernel or init messages while booting. How can I activate this verbose boot? Is there any chance that the /lib/firmware is not mounted and available to the kernel module in this early stage?

I did so, but openvfd still doesn't work and can't compile.

I meant to say "armbian", my apologies

Dear all, How can i auto login h96max armbian without input user name&password. Every time i turn on the box, i have to enter the user name&password. I don't want to do that the same to windows OS Thank you,

The foreign added SPI-flash makes it custom in terms of Armbian bootloader. Look how to build U-Boot from Armbian build environment (development basically) or find howto on denx.de. It been a while since I last did that myself, so things might have changed a bit.

Sorry - this is probably an easy one for those that know. But I am trying hard to copy my work and progress and build another NAS out of another T95z Plus box for my brother. All is going well - but on the second box - months after building the first - I installed the latest download. So I have Old box = Armbian Linux 6.12.32-current-meson64 - v25.5.1 New box = Armbian Linux 6.12.34-current-meson64 - v25.8 rolling - Support:for advanced users (rolling release) Both show - Ubuntu stable (noble) - which I think I changed on first boot with Armbian-config. Okay - so I don't think I am an advanced user so that warning has got me worried. So is there another version I should be using? I can't find the old file I downloaded so they would be identical. I have disabled unattended upgrades and things like that. Or am I worrying about nothing. Anyway - thanks as always. I still can't believe I have these cheap things pulled from my dust bin doing a real job again.

Does wifi work (Yes/No): No Does bluetooth work (Yes/No): Not tested Does HDMI audio work (Yes/No): Yes Additional Comments (provide any additional information you feel is important): This is my second T95z plus box build. Using as headless server and both seem solid. Confirming what others have said – the build is different inside. This has a different wifi card and eemc. I have a 3rd T95z plus that has the dreaded NAND chip too. Having fun and learning. Using as a simple NAS now with a ZFS pool and works just fine.

My Radxa Rock 4SE does not boot since community-build 25.8.0-trunk.228. Current local builds based on the "main" branch are also affected.

Welcome to custom hardware / division exotics / subdivision retro It is hard already when its new custom hardware and main division. If nobody ported HW to mainline Linux and keep it operational, its usually quite a long path. Armbian provides build framework, that helps in the process, but hard work is still on the one that will deal with the SoC - here you can hope to find someone on forum(s) to share some specific ideas. Adding is fairly straightforward https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/#adding-a-new-board but if there are sources for boot loader, sources for kernel, or better - support in the mainline kernel. Even when you have all this, it can still be quite challenging. Each such board usually require more people, a team. When I recall how many months we lost on one of Marvell's 🤔 Espressobin is an example how board support can be made super complicated - check history from day one. If board support package is on that level ... its worse out of all we have seen here. And now its an old hardware, not interesting so much. And remain broken as we don't have anyone to deal with it / its not worth.

So my experience with Armbian is pretty broad, starting with Raspberry PI, then taking a hard left turn at Albuquerque with me successfully running a docker server on an Allwinner H3 based T95 super TV box. I’ve also run it on SBCs like the yeayeetoo Rockchip series. I’ve just never compiled a build and it is so hard to find any info from anywhere about the Armada 1500 running anything. What is the virtual system option?

These errors are fine because moonlight will try all the hw accel APIs like vaapi, vdpau and vulkan, but on rockchip platform we only need rkmpp decoder, as you can see in the log it is detected,

sudo modprobe i2c-dev ?

Feature regressions are expected - Linux kernel is complicated machinery and without spending hours, a day or a week investigating, it's usually not possible to tell. We don't touch Rpi kernels much. We have our own kernel config, but we use official Rpi sources, so I guess 1st step would be looking if someone reported something similar https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues By newer you mean 6.12.y, 6.16.y ... or 6.6.63 ->

It appears that Heiko is the maintainer for RPi boards (all varieties?) in Armbian, but I believe @Igor also has the device and maybe he can repond. I suggest you try to talk to Heiko and see if he has something to say. I just perused the git sources and you might want to talk to Pander as well.

Brace yourself, this is going to take a long time, most likely months to years and most likely you will never get this to run. That being said, to get yourself started, you probably ought to start compiling stuff and getting yourself familiar around the armbian build framework. Do you have another SBC that is supported by Armbian? If not, it's probably best to target one of the virtual system options. I wish the documentation for this stuff was better. As of now, it is scattered throughout.

Can you confirm that you can still run X11 with Linux 6.12?

Ok, the noble_vendor_gnome image actually works. Not out of the box, you have to select "headphones" and most important, the gnome self-test "front left, front right" doesn't work. That's what was fooling me to begin with. But if you play videos, that works just fine. So for anyone on down the line confused by all of this, you need to copy a known good video or soundfile over to see if it will play. Here's the armbianmonior -u for it in any case - https://paste.armbian.com/nutedakeco However, one problem solved, new problem shows up to take its place. The current_ kernel images I've tried no longer boot off the nvme now that I have a SATA drive connected! It just sits there and hangs. The vendor images work OK, although I am seeing the SATA drive mysteriously appear and disappear upon boot. I suppose I should start a new thread for that one? I see a big long thread about SATA drives already.

@balbes150 which bios are you using, the exactly version, i updated to 9.0.0 but i had some issue. Thanks

I don't have a custom board. I have a ROCK PI 4 SE. These boards do not come with SPI flash IC soldered on the board, but have space if one chooses to solder SPI flash himself. Since I couldn't find flash IC that Raxda recommends: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/spi_flash (W25Q64FV; GD25Q127CSIG;XT25F32B;XT25F128B) I found equivalent to W25Q64FV. The vendor Id of FL064LIF01 is different so I'm guessing that is why it is not recognized. I read that Piter75 had support for XTX flashes at first so other flash ICs can be added maybe? This is exactly what my goal is but since I'm new to this I though posting on forum and ask for some help would not hurt. Thanks
